Chords for Robert Goulet - One Solitary Life

[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Only on these [Bb] land of _ _ _ [Ab] _ Aedes, there [Eb] has ever set sail
All those rulers [Bb] that have _ [Ab] overthrown kings
That have ever [Eb] gained the names and called them [D] together
Have not [Db] affected _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ [Bbm] me, [Fm] _ one [Eb]
solitary love
_ _ [Bb] _ Born [Ab] in an [Fm] obscure village, [Eb] he was the child of a peasant woman.
He worked in a carpenter shop until he was thirty years old.
And [Gm] then for three years he [Bb] traveled around the country
[Ab] stopping long enough to talk [Eb] and to listen to people
and to help where he could. _
[Bb] He never wrote a book, he never had a hit record
[Ab] he never went to [Eb] college and never ran for public office
he [Bb] never had a family or owned [Db] a house
[Ab] he never did [Eb] any of the things that usually [Bb] accompanied [Bbm] greatness
_ [Fm] he had no credentials, [Eb] _ but himself.

[Fm] Aedes, one solitary love
Three _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Ab] years old, the tide of public [Eb] opinion turned against him
and his friends all rejected him.
When [Bb] he was arrested, very few [Ab] wanted anything to do with him.
[Eb] After his trial, he was executed by the state along with admitted thieves
[Bb] and only because a generous friend offered his [Ab] own [Eb] cemetery plot
was there any place to bury him.
_ [Bb] _ This all happened [Db] nineteen [Ab] centuries ago
[Eb] and yet today he is the leading [Bb] figure of the [Bbm] human race
[Fm] and the ultimate example [Eb] of love.
_ [Bb] Now it is no [Eb] exaggeration to say
that all the armies [Bb] that have ever marched
[Ab] all the navies [Eb] that have ever set sail
all the rulers [Bb] _ that have ever ruled
[Ab] _ all the kings [Eb] that have ever reigned on this earth
[Bb] all put together
_ [Db] have not [Ab] affected the [Eb] life of man on earth
[Bb] like [Bbm] this _
[Fm] one _ [Eb] solitary _ life.
